governor romney, he came into this wanting to make it a referendum on president obama's stewardship of the economy, and very quickly it became about his own economic ideology and it became a choice between paul ryan and mitt romney and president obama and vice president biden's very different visions of our economic future. and so we're going to see that teased out again in the debate. i mean, those poll numbers are pretty locked in six weeks out. >> governor ed endell and alicia menendez, thank you for your time tonight. >> thank you. >> thanks, rev. >>> still ahead, eric cantor and the tea party were going to change washington. now they're hiding from their records. but we won't let them. that's next.

mitt romney had a hard time staying focused on the economy. we come out of the debate, we talk about the improved numbers and tomorrow he's going to give a foreign policy speech. there's another week to go before the next presidential debate. although there's the vice presidential one in the meantime. so i agree with sara, who knows? it's a lot closer i think than anyone thought it would be at this point. >> hey doug, can the president sell this to the 7.8% that are still unemployed that there's an improving economy out there? >> this is the more important story than who won or loss the debate as we know. and the numbers add to the narrative as anne alluded to, inform how people feel about the economy. if you think things getting better. you're much more likely to vote for the president. if you don't, you're leaning toward romney. i think the president has an opportunity, has been doing a good job sort of pointing at the facts, he really has turned around the job picture since he came into office. we were hemorrhaging jobs at the end of the bu
